There is a limit. 400 square feet on all but 5th wheels whcih can be 430 square feet. Once over the limits the regulating agency is HUD which changes all the bulding specs. Under the limits and it falls under RVIA. HUD increases standards like loadings of roof trusses. shear loads on walls and all the other requirements that HUD requires. These then fall under Manufactured Housing codes. RVIA is much less prescriptive. That is why park models fall under RVIA. Over 400 square feet of living space ( Lofts under 48" tall are storage and not living space) are manufactured housing and falls under HUD.

Hi
As long as it has a license tag on it it is a motor vehicle and HUD has nothing to do with it at all. If you then put it permanently in a RV park and remove the license tag then it would come under HUD regulations.
This has been upheld by the courts.
